Americans apparently know more about “The Simpsons” than they do about the First Amendment, according to a recent poll. Probably it's always been so. Few Americans absorb the basis of who we are, but most revel in it.
Amendment I: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition
the Government for a redress of grievances.
"Only one in four Americans can name more than one of the five freedomsguaranteed by the First Amendment. (Survey: can you name the fivefreedoms?)But more than half can name at least two members of thecartoon family, according to a survey."
